SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
-
POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM is the system that BCM controls with the operation of push-button ignition switch and performs the power distribution to each power circuit. This system is used instead of the mechanical power supply changing mechanism with the operation of the conventional key cylinder.
Allocation to the accessory power supply, refer to the auto ACC function. Refer to System Description.
-
Push-button ignition switch can be operated when Intelligent Key is in the following condition:
-
Intelligent Key is in the detection area of the inside key antenna.
-
Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button ignition switch.
-
-
Push-button ignition switch operation is input to Intelligent Key unit as a signal. Intelligent Key unit transmits push-button ignition switch status signal to BCM via CAN communication. BCM changes the ignition switch position according to the status and operates the following relays to supply power to each power circuit:
-
Ignition relay (IPDM E/R)
-
Ignition relay-1 [fuse block (J/B)]
-
Ignition relay-2 [fuse block (J/B)]
-
Ignition relay-3 (relay box)
NOTE:
Ignition relay-3 turns ON only when the engine is running.
-
Accessory relay [fuse block (J/B)]
-
IGNITION BATTERY SAVER SYSTEM
Ignition battery saver system is a system in which the BCM automatically shuts off the power supply (ignition switch ON -> OFF) to protect the battery.
BCM activates ignition battery saver system 10 minutes after ignition battery saver timer function operating conditions are met.
Operating Condition of Ignition Battery Saver Timer Function
When all the following conditions are met for a 10 minutes, the battery saver system will cut off the power supply (ignition switch ON -> OFF) to prevent battery discharge:
-
Ignition switch is in the ON
-
Engine stopped
Cancel Condition of Ignition Battery Saver Timer Function
If any of the following conditions are met the battery saver timer function is canceled:
-
Ignition switch is not ON
-
Engine running
NOTE:
-
Ignition battery saver timer function will return 1 minute or more, after closing CONSULT or removing VI from the Nissan Ariya vehicle.
-
When ignition battery saver is disabling, the operation of push-button ignition switch less than 2 seconds is not accepted.
-
To resume ignition battery saver system, press and hold the push-button ignition switch continuously for 3 seconds or more with the brake pedal is not depressed (ignition switch ON -> OFF).
